Palin does politically matter. She represents the tea partiers/flat earthers. She doesn't believe in evolution. She was almost president. She may be the leading candidate for president. You don't think that politically matters? She's the FOX "news" candidate, and that says something.

You people have such short memories. We laughed and laughed at Ronald Reagan --- "There's no way that simple actor and mouthpiece for GE can be President." We laughed and laughed at G.W. Bush --- "There's no way that coke addict and drunk can be President."

Don't think for a minute that the media and "powers that be" can't install Palin in the White House. In fact, Palin/Cheney-2012 would be the most absurd and likely joke to top off the end of American Democracy I can imagine.

The reason anything said by Sarah Palin is accepted as worthy is because our president, on whose campaign I poured my heart into, is not being promoted by his own staff as even baraely competent. I know he is doing a good job, but I'd like to see some REALLy big noise made of what he does! As long as they ignore the fact that his accomplishments are not tooted to the heavens, the self-contradicting and McCain campaign hated Ms.Palin will apear more worthy of our attention.
